Halftime Spectacle: FIFA is leaning into a Super Bowl-style music segment featuring BTS, Shakira, Justin Bieber, Madonna (and more), with the show expected to extend the break. NJ Weather & Smoke: Thunderstorms and flash flooding disrupted final preparations, including Spain canceling a training session; wildfire haze from Canada has also been a concern, though forecasts suggest improving conditions. Tournament Buzz Beyond the Pitch: FIFA’s hydration-break policy is under review, and a European rights body is publicly questioning World Cup integrity over money-and-power pressures. Music Crossover: BTS’ Paris run drew Macron and a massive crowd, and the group now heads to New York/New Jersey for both the tour stop and the final’s halftime stage.
